Chapter 91Shaming Him?Kaius' POV Adelaide’s face flashed in my mind and the way her fingers tightened slightly around mine when the light appeared.She didn’t understand what was happening. Neither did I.Just then, the priest smiled. “It is a blessing,” he said quietly. “The bond revealed what was hidden. She is your mate.”I let out a breath immediately and smiled back at him. “It’s just a mate bond,” I said. “You’re dressing it up in fairy tales.”He looked like he wanted to argue but stopped himself.Suddenly, I felt something twisted in my chest.A mate bond and everyone saw it. What if the witch gets to know of this? What'll happen to Adelaide?If she learns Adelaide is truly bound to me, she won’t hesitate to attack and Adelaide will become the easiest way to break me.The priest’s smile faded when he noticed the shift in my expression. “Alpha?”I straightened. “No one speaks of this,” I said. “Not outside that hall…”“Yes, alpha,” he answered quickly.“If rumors spread befo

Chapter 92The Flash PainAdelaide’s POV Kaius' fingers loosened slowly, as I turned slightly toward Paula who stood a few steps away. “Get me another glass of wine, Paula…” I whispered.She nodded quickly and hurried off. The priest continued the final words of the ceremony while the crowd watched with warm smiles.They believed they had just seen a sweet moment between Alpha and Luna. A strong Alpha catching his shy mate, but that wasn't it. I couldn't wait to leave the gaze of the people. Then suddenly, my mind went to Kaius' question, “do you want to shame me?”What does he mean by that?Just then, the priest raised his hands. “The bonding ceremony is complete.”The crowd erupted into applause, each of them smiling like it was some kind of trophy.The great hall was turned into something bright and loud after the ceremony ended. The long tables filled the room from one end to the other, covered with different meals from the pack kitchen.Music was playing near the far wall where

Chapter 93A Connection With the Witch?Adelaide’s POV I stared at him, a bit confused by his question. These days, Kaius had been asking confusing questions.I sat up slowly, but he didn't help me, he just let me be as though it was all my fault. Wait, I've been reacting so strange from the wines I took at the hall. It sounded strange, but it was awfully true.Did someone temper with my drink or something? I thought, a bit lost from my normal self.Suddenly, Kaius bent over me and I jerked. I almost forgot he was in the room with me.I swallowed hard and looked at him, forgetting everything about his question. “Did you get my question or not?” He asked again. This time he was standing so close and piercing into my eyes.“Sorry, what's the question again?” I asked, swallowing the lump in my throat. He heaved, “did you cause the pain or did the bond?” My chest tightened immediately and I told him quietly, still a little weak, “I don’t know… The pain just came… and then it left. I’

Chapter 94Words That Should Not Be ReadKaius' POV My gaze dropped to the book. Old pages, strange markings and my jaw tightened.“What exactly are you doing?” I demanded.“I’m… reading,” she said, pausing to look at me.“You’re reading a magic text,” I said sharply.“It’s not….”“You shouldn’t be filling your head with this nonsense,” I cut in, my voice hard. “Books like this twist the mind.”Something inside her snapped, I sensed it. She straightened, pushing the book slightly toward me. “This isn’t nonsense.”I barely glanced. “I don’t care what it is.”“Well I do,” she shot back. She turned the page, showing me clearly. “The Grey Bond.”My eyes darkened.She pointed to the old writing. “I am trying to understand what is happening to us! You keep acting like everything is normal.”She stepped closer to the table, her hands resting on the book. “But it’s not normal, Kaius. You are hurting us by ignoring it.”There was silence for a while and then I stared at her, anger boiling de

Chapter 95Endless Night Adelaide’s POV I quickly turned away from it and looked at him, with my arms folded across my chest. “I couldn’t sleep,” I admitted.Kaius didn’t seem surprised. “Neither could I.”There was another pause. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. “You were angry earlier.”Kaius leaned slightly on the stone edge of the fountain. “You were reading dangerous things earlier and you sounded so angry….”“I was trying to know what was happening between us and you were angry as well...”He didn’t answer immediately, his gaze lifted slowly toward me. “You believe those old stories easily.”“I believe what I felt,” I replied quietly.My fingers tightened slightly against the edge of my cloak. “That pain during the ceremony wasn’t imagination.”Kaius looked away for a moment, swallowing the lump in his throat.I studied his face for a while. “You’re afraid of something,” I said softly.Immediately, his eyes snapped back to me. “I am not afraid.”“Yes you are.”My vo

Chapter 96Queen Mother's Awkward Visit Adelaide’s POV *****The next morning, I woke up first.My eyes blinked open slowly as I adjusted to the brightness coming from the window.I forgot where I was for a moment, as the memory of the previous night flooded my mind.Oh crap! I slept with Kaius! My cheeks instantly turned warm.I looked at my side and Kaius was still asleep and his arm was still wrapped around me.I pushed myself up on one elbow, removed his hand gently and looked at him again.The way his eyelashes rested against his skin while he slept and a smile formed on my lips as I kept staring.“You’re not nearly as frightening when you’re sleeping,” I whispered.As if he heard me, Kaius’ eyes suddenly opened and I froze.For about two seconds we just stared at each other, then embarrassment hit me all at once.I quickly covered my face with both hands.“Oh no,” I groaned softly. “You were awake.”He laughed. “Not until you started staring at my face like a painting.”I groa

Chapter 97Athena's Advice Adelaide’s POVI felt my fingers tighten slightly against the edge of the table. “I will do my best,” I said.She went silent for a while, before a smile spread out across her face. “You must do more than your best.” Her eyes hardened.“You must make the Alpha want you.”The words hit me harder than I expected.“If you fail to do that,” she continued calmly, “then the kingdom will require a different solution.”I felt cold spread through my chest.Then, she straightened again. “Kings have taken second wives before.”My breath caught slightly.“And if my son does not find what he needs in this marriage…” Her voice dropped lower. “…then I will find him someone who can give it to him.”Wait! She really came to threaten me?! I thought, my arms tightening beside me.Immediately, the Queen Mother smoothed the sleeve of her dress and turned toward the door and stopped again, but didn't look back. “Think carefully about your role here, Adelaide. Queens can be repla

Chapter 98Confronting Her Again Adelaide’s POV “But my lady…” Paula tried to protest, but I stopped her.“It’s exactly what she wants.”Paula clenched her fists but stayed where she was, as the room went quiet again.I walked toward the window slowly, staring out at the pack gardens. Now I understood everything, they were all moving pieces on the same board.I smiled.Paula noticed it immediately and rushed forward. “My lady…?”I turned back toward her calmly. “Don’t worry.”She looked confused.“I know what to do.” I said. The words had left my mouth calmly, but Paula was still staring at me like she wasn’t sure whether to believe them.Her face was red with anger from everything Athena had said. Even now her hands were clenched at her sides like she was still imagining all the things she wished she had said back to my stepsister.“That woman has no shame,” Paula muttered again. “Coming here and speaking to you like that in your own chambers…”I didn’t answer, I walked slowly to

Chapter 99In Love With HerKaius' POV I glanced at him briefly, trying to read his expression and then I sighed quietly.“I suppose I am.”Rafaello raised his eyebrow slightly. “That’s unusual during a council meeting.”We continued walking down the long corridor as his questions kept coming.For a moment I wanted to start ignoring the questions, but the truth had already been sitting heavily in my chest all day and I couldn't deny anymore.Should I tell him? I thought, looking at him for a moment.Rafaello had been beside me through too many battles and years of leadership for me to pretend with him.So I stopped walking, but Rafaello took two more steps before realizing I had paused. He turned around to face me.“My Alpha?”I ran a hand slowly through my hair, then I said something I had never said out loud before. “I think I’m in love with her.”Rafaello froze completely. He stared at me like he wasn’t sure he had heard correctly.“You… what?”I crossed my arms, suddenly feeling

Chapter 100Confessing To the Alpha Kaius' POV I saw the way my mother jerked the moment I drew closer. She was clearly avoiding my gaze now and the moment Christine realized I was looking at her, her shoulders stiffened.Her head lowered slightly, but not quickly enough to hide the panic I had seen in her eyes and that alone made my suspicion deepen, because Christine had never looked afraid before.Just then, my mother straightened, switching expressions and I wondered what she was up to now. One minute she was hiding her gaze and now, she was staring straight at me.I knew she hadn’t expected me to arrive and she definitely hadn’t expected to see the way I was looking at Christine now.There was silence between us for a while, before I finally broke the silence.“What is happening here?” My voice was calm.Adelaide stood beside clearly atomished. I could see the amusement in her eyes. She wasn't expecting me to take sides with her.She glanced briefly at Christine, then back at
